Our fight against scammers is now even stronger with the launch of our brand new database which records known scams and individuals committing scams/fraud.
It was an effort to fight back scammers across social media and the Bureau decided it was time to step up the game by introducing a brand new scam database which see’s the latest scams and scammers recorded and stored to make people aware.
It was a decision some time ago that finally got it’s new lease of life this week, and already new names and scams are coming in thick and fast.
So how does the database work? We carefully research all scams and people committing scams and fraud. If there is enough evidence to suggest an awareness, it is then published to the database. Our team carefully review each case before publication, however there is a downside.
Whilst the Bureau is all for tackling scammers, in some cases, rumors of lack of information just isn’t enough to be recorded, but, if this is the case, they will be placed on the watch list.
In a statement from the board, “It was essential to add the database to ensure we keep people from being scammed. We record them only if there is sufficient evidence to warrant being recorded onto the database, and because we use information that is already within the public domain no take down notices can be issued. This is an ongoing effort to combat these scammers and to disrupt them as much as we can. We can only hope that by doing this, it will help others to be aware.”
The database is currently live and active and can be found under the database section of our website.
